| The Six Kingdom Inventory System is currently available on |
| UseNet via comp.binaries.ibm.pc. |
| A totally new biodiversity information management system, SKIS |
| consists of a fully functional program, data files, documentation, |
| and examples. |
| |
| Free to private individuals. |
| Concessions will be given to Conservation and Education groups. |
| Businesses will require a negotiated licence. |
| |
| SKIS builds checklists using the Biological Classification as a |
| hierarchical index and these are represented with a short and |
| meaningful codes. The aim is to allow any assemblage of species to |
| be checklisted such that all taxa fall into one sequence, so all |
| checklists can be compatible. This aim is met using the current |
| release (SKI_INput v 5.2) when compatible NAMes-files are used |
| to create the SKI-checklists. |
